a Claims. (01. 20 -1z This invention relates to the construction ofwindow frames or the like and more particularly to an improvement of theinside trim over the weight box of a sliding member such as window 5sash. i

The object of the invention is to provide a construction in which saidtrim can be easily and quickly applied and removed, the latter for thepurpose of uncovering the weight box and there- 10 by afford accesstothe weight and its, cord in the event they need attention.

Further objects will appear from the disclosure herein.

The invention is embodied in the preferred exl5- ample herein shown anddescribed,the feature of novelty beingfinally pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawingt v Figure 1 is a view in elevation from theinner or room side of the right hand portion of a window frame, a sashwith cord and weight with parts broken out and in section and accordingto the invention.
